Of those who use AI day-to-day, 47% of Gen Zs in the UK said they use it to summarise documents or meeting notes and 39% consider AI to be useful for conducting research or finding inspiration.

But while 66% of UK participants expressed optimism for AI’s capabilities, 63% also said they felt overwhelmed and unsure about the vast array of new AI apps available to them.

The research also revealed that 51% found the realities of full-time work fell short of their expectations, with 79% of UK respondents keen to start ‘side hustles where they can follow their true passions’. The figure was 73% globally.
